Mother's Day Fun

I had fun creating a couple new projects for Mother's Day last week.

This first project was an exfoliating scrub my daughter helped me make for my mom. We gave her this scrub and took her out for an evening of shopping and dinner. What a fun girls night!

I got the "recipe" for the scrub at Joanna Gaines' blog here. I also shared the recipe below. I did change it up a little bit. We didn't have any grapefruit on hand, so I just used one orange. I didn't have any grapefruit oil, so I used DoTerra's Wild Orange Oil instead. I *loved* how it turned out and will definitely be making more! It felt so good on my hands - I even could tell they were softer the next day. This would also be good to use on your lips since everything is edible. Cool!

Citrus Exfoliating Scrub

Ingredients:

½ C coconut oil

½ C white sugar (or baking soda for a

gentler scrub)

Zest of ½ grapefruit

Zest of ½ orange

1 T. grapefruit juice OR approx. 25 drops

of grapefruit oil

Directions:

Place the firm coconut oil and white sugar (or baking soda) in a stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix together on low speed until thick. Add the grapefruit zest, orange zest and grapefruit juice (or grapefruit oil) to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are mixed well and then store in a glass jar. Be sure to keep it refrigerated when not in use.

I gave mom the fold-out mini scrapbook card I shared a few days ago, but I wanted to make a special card for a friend of mine who was celebrating her first Mother's Day. I have absolutely fallen in love with the Mother's Love stamp set! Look how beautiful this card turned out! And it was easy to throw together, too!
